One of best movies ever

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2006)

Tornatore is a genius. As all of his movies ,this one is excellent! It is a light and poetic fantasy about a fantastic pianist raised in a ship and that had never got out of it. Raised and educated by a rude but sensitive sailor, living since the balance of a cradle to the balance of the ship, he learned piano by himself and became a fantastic piano player entertaining travelers while his fame spread out to the shores. Some scenes are unforgettable as playing the piano in a violent storm and many others. The story, narrated by a musician that played with him and due to though times has to sell his loved instrument to survive. A must see movie!
